Someone Else's Star

Couldn't beat 'em, so you joined 'em

Wanted freedom and got boredom

They wanted you to stay where you are

Their game had no meaning

You found fame and it was fleeting

You became someone else's star

Now all your memories feel more like films

You put 'em on to see which ones still kill

You wonder why the bad ones paid the bills

All the time

Every night

You say another prayer there's a heaven

I say it's anywhere you're forgiven

All the time

I think it's time

Took a drive with the whole family

That you've decided was so happy

But you were silent sitting in the backseat of the car

And time passes too slowly

Then all at once you're so much older

Making wishes on someone else's star

All the time

Every night

You say another prayer there's a heaven

I say it's anywhere you're forgiven

All the time

I think it's time to let it go

You've gotta let it go

Now all your second chances feel like thirds

You wonder what you wanted in the first

Used to feel it all, now it just hurts

All the time

Every night

You say another prayer there's a heaven

I say it's anywhere you're forgiven

All the time

It's time

I think it's time to let it go
